The final pages, despite the book's predatory subject, are surprisingly sweet; the siblings fly their bike (now a hang glider) toward a cozy cabin while the vanquished critters sulk from a safe distance. He followed the story and it kept his attention to the end and the repetition means that he will be able to join in when we have read it a few more times. Sarah has the ingenuity of James Bond's Q, transforming her bicycle to cross land, sea, and air before finally catching up with the creature at the top of this food chain.Finally, she must crawl into the stomach of the Saber-toothed Yumper and, flashlight in hand, wind her way through the insides of all the other beasts to retrieve her brother.

I fear that it is a bit unfair to discuss this book alongside the other two since the text here remains in its original English: perfectly terse and colorfully constructed. And Sarah's retooling, MacGyver style, of her bicycle to adapt to each environment: paddle boat, submarine, stilted walker.

Pairing and Overview: I paired The Day Louis Got Eaten with Warehouse 13 because both have strong female protagonists and fun, fantasy themes.

Och så håller det på tills Sara tillslut hinner ikapp det sista monstret i kedjan, en Sabeltandad smaskare.A strong female protagonist is a great tool to be able to use in any classroom to show all students that girls can be heroes too. The bluntness and light-heartedness with which Fardell presents what should be a set of tragic events gives the story great comic effect.
